Can I add videos to my email campaign?

Note: Videos cannot be added as .mp4 files in your email. They are converted to .GIF format. 

Watch this video to get a quick overview of adding a video to your design: 

Videos can add life to your email like no other form of media. You can add short videos to your email campaign, which are auto-converted to a 10-second GIF.

To add your video: 

  1. Select ‘Elements’ from the left email editor menu.
  2. Select ‘Video’ from the expanded options. 
  3. Add your video by uploading, searching for a stock video or embedding via a link. 

Uploading a video 

To upload a video, click ‘My Videos’ in the pop-up menu after selecting the ‘Video’ option in the left email editor menu. Click the plus sign button to browse and add a video from your device. 

Videos previously uploaded to your designs or email campaigns on PosterMyWall will also be available for use in the ‘My videos’ menu.

Select a stock video of your choice, then click the ‘Add selected’ button to add your video. 

Video format and use 

Some changes are made to videos to display them in emails: 

  1. Video duration is set to the first 10 seconds
  2. Video audio is removed
  3. Video format is set to gif and it will auto-play in your email

You can add up to 5 videos to your email. Videos increase loading times so it’s advisable to use no more than 1 video per email. Emails with longer loading times may cause recipients to turn back before the email gets a chance to display properly.
